Harry Potter Butterbeer Latte

• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1/2 cup water + 1 tablespoon (divided)

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon butter

1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 oz espresso or 1/4 strong brewed coffee or cold brew

1/4 cup milk of choice

Directions

Syrup:

Combine the 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup granulated sugar into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat.

Add the brown sugar, 1 tablespoon water, salt and butter to a tall pot. Cook on medium heat, stirring once, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Continue to simmer until the sauce reaches 300 degrees.

Carefully whisk in 1/2 of the simple syrup that was set aside, being sure to whisk as you add. This will foam and bubble so be careful not to burn yourself.

Once that is combined, add the remaining syrup and cook 1 additional minute, or until the bubbles calm and the mixture melts into a liquid.

Coffee:

Add 1-2 tablespoons of dolce syrup to a cup.

Top with coffee or espresso.

Add steamed milk, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle.
